The bags are packed, and the hype-deflection shield is fully charged. I'm jetting off to LA today for the E3 show. In a shocking piece of planning I am flying at 4.15pm which means I won't know whether the Saints have made it until 3.30am UK time. I am hoping that a hands on with Xbox 360, a glimpse of PS3 and lengthy sessions on the new Zelda and Ico (Wanda and the Colussus) titles will take away the pain of relegation. The fun starts late evening Monday (UK time) with the Sony conference, followed soon after by the Xbox one. So check back this week for jetlagged dispatches from the gaming frontline.
